Early June 2011, NZTRI Research Officer Pascal Languillon gave a seminar about the behaviours and preferences of green travellers to executives of Saigon Tourist, a state-owned enterprise head-quartered in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The company owns and manages many hotels (including flagship properties such as Hotel Majestic and Rex Hotel), restaurants and runs guided tours throughout the country.
NZTRI Director Simon Milne talks to Patrick Barnard of The Pimento Report about what sustainable tourism is and three tourism projects that he has been involved in recently: Western Southland, New Zealand, the region of Labrador in Canada and a part of the city of Montreal. Can tourism be made more sustainable?
Sam Judd is co founder of a New Zealand charity called Sustainable Coastlines. Educated in New Zealand and Latin America, he has spearheaded large scale coastal cleanup events and is in the process of developing a formula for waste management in small island states.
